Vikings at Seahawks picks and predictions

Prediction

Seahawks 31, Vikings 13

Moneyline

The Seahawks have scored 30 or more points in 3 of their last 4 games. The Vikings will start undrafted rookie QB Max Brosmer, who is making his first NFL start and has thrown only 8 passes this season.

The Seahawks’ only loss in their last 6 games came against the LA Rams, the No. 1 seed in the NFC.

They should win this game, but the -700 moneyline offers little value. Take the spread instead.

PASS.

Against the spread

The Seahawks didn’t cover the spread in last week’s win, but they are 7-1 ATS in their 8 victories. Half of those wins have come by at least 14 points.

Even with McCarthy in the lineup last week against Green Bay -- a team comparable to Seattle in terms of talent -- the Vikings lost by 17. Now, with a rookie quarterback facing a top-10 defense, this could get ugly.

BET SEAHAWKS -11.5 (-115).

Over/Under

As noted, the Seahawks have scored 30 or more points in 3 of their last 4 games, so the Vikings wouldn't need to do much to push this total Over. Seattle has also allowed 19 or more in 4 straight games, and 4 of its last 5 matchups have surpassed 41 total points.

BET OVER 41.5 (-110).
